I ask only once a year: please help the Internet Archive today. Most can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone chips in $5, we can end this fundraiser today. Right now, a generous supporter will match your donation 2-to-1, so you can triple your impact. All we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a library you can trust. We have only 150 staff but run one of the world’s top websites. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We never accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. For 22 years, my dream has been to build the library of everything and make it available to everyone. To make information more reliable and permanent. I know we could charge money, but then we couldn’t achieve our mission: a free library for the whole internet. The Internet Archive is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, please chip in. Thank you.

DrupalCon Boston 2008 - Tracking Event Results with CCK and Views

Presenters:
Karen Stevenson
Track:
site building
Proceedings Have Been Posted:
Proceedings Have Been Posted
Session Description:

We’ll create a site that creates team events and displays the results in various ways, using CCK and Views, similar to the tournament site at http://www.everbloom.us.

AGENDA
The example is a fishing tournament where we record results for each individual tournament, and also keep cumulative results for each team for all events they participate in. This will illustrate some flexible ways to use CCK and Views that could be adapted to any situation where you need to link together people, events, and results.

We’ll create several content types and link them together with nodereference fields, then build calendar views of the tournaments, views that show the cumulative team standings for the year, and views that show detailed results both by tournament and by team. We’ll make the detailed results available both in a tabbed stand-alone view and embedded in the relevant event and team nodes.

All Drupal CCk-Views users should see this

The best part is using a real world demonstration of the technique. This is the scenario. This is what I did.

Yes, the procedure is complicated, but Nancy does a great job of stepping you through it. I would highly recommend, you first do some basic things with CCK and Views and Computed Fields to get the understanding of what each of them does.

I watched the podcast 3 times. The first time I just watched to see where it was going; the second, to pause and take notes of the process; the third to fill in the blanks I missed so I could apply it to what I needed.

I sincerely hope Nancy finds the time to do more of these real world demonstrations.
